Supplement to Justice, Inequality, and Health

Long descriptions for the figures in Justice, Inequality, and Health

Figure 1 description

A bar char consisting of three sets of four bars on the x-axis which is labeled “Years of Follow-up”. The y-axis ranges in values form 0 to 2.0 and is labeled “Mortality Rate Ratio”. The four bars in each set are “Administrative”, “Professional Executive”, “Clerical”, and “Other”. For each set:

  • First set labeled “0–9”
    • Administrative: The bar is a bit above 0.5 in height.
    • Professional Executive: As explained in the text this is the reference group so the bar will always be at 1.0.
    • Clerical: The bar is at about 1.5.
    • Other: The bar is slightly below 2.0.
  • Second set labeled “10–19”
    • Administrative: The bar is slightly above 1.0.
    • Professional Executive: The bar is at 1.0
    • Clerical: The bar is slightly above 1.0 and a bit higher than the Administrative bar.
    • Other: The bar is above 1.5.
  • Third set labeled “20+”
    • Administrative: The bar is about 0.75.
    • Professional Executive: The bar is at 1.0.
    • Clerical: The bar is close to but below 1.5.
    • Other: The bar is about 1.5.

Figure 2 description

A bar chart consisting of four sets of two bars along the x-axis. The y-axis ranges form 0.2 to 2.0 and is labeled “Relative Rate”. The two bars in each set are labeled “Adjusted for age” and “Adjusted for other risk factors”. For each set:

  • first set labeled “Admin”. The two bars are the same height and at 1.0.
  • second set labeled “Prof/Exec”. The first bar, adjusted for age, is at about 1.3 while the second bar, adjusted for other risk factors, is a bit lower at about 1.2.
  • third set labeled “Clerical”. The first bar, adjusted for age, is a little lower than 1.8. The second bar, adjusted for other risk factors, is a little above 1.4.
  • fourth set is labeled “Other”. The first bar, adjusted for age, is a bit above 1.8. The second bar, adjusted for other risk factors, is a little above 1.4 (about the same height as the corresponding bar in the Clerical set).
